The ability to have someone peer review your work is very useful when the comments and suggestions are constructive. Personally, I had never peer reviewed before English 110, but now that I have, I realize how important it is to have someone else look at your work and give you constructive criticism. It was hard at first for me to develop the confidence to peer review someone else work because although my comments were constructive, I felt that my peers would think I was being mean and harshly criticizing their work. Eventually, I realized that my peers  were using my peer reviews as tools to make their writing better, and they didn’t necessarily have make my suggested changes.  Take for example in peer review 1, I first noticed that my peer had written a question as their thesis and not a thesis statement, so I suggested that he turn the question into more of a statement in order to tell the reader what he was going to be talking about for the rest of his essay. Then, I noticed there was a paragraph in which my peer had two separate ideas put into one paragraph. So, I suggested that he turn one long paragraph into two paragraphs. Lastly, there were a few spots that I noticed he could have added more examples from the texts we were reading. More specifically, in his third paragraph, I suggested to “consider adding the patient=fighter, and illness= battle example” from the text to support his claim that metaphors can either help or hurt people who are healing. I felt that adding this example to his writing would add more to his paper and really back-up his argument. By having someone else read your writing, it provides a new perspective that might catch global and local revisions that the writer wouldn’t have been able to find. This is why peer reviewing is so important during the writing process.
